It will be a cycle – the rats will continue.”<br>In other areas, communities are stepping in when they see people dumping rubbish on the streets.<br>Javed Iqbal, a 55-year-old community activist, described one incident where rubbish had been set on fire outside his house in Alum Rock, two miles east of the city centre.<br>In a video being circulated on social media, flames and smoke can be seen emerging from a pile of black bags on the side of a residential road.<br>He called it “disturbing” but said the community quickly came together to clean it up and it is only part of their response to the situation.<br>“We’ve set up groups like the street watch patrol. Guys to keep an eye out for elderly, disabled, women, mothers with a single parent, mothers who have got no access to vehicles – see how we can assist them to make their place safer,” Mr Iqbal, who is also part of the Alum Rock Community Forum, said.<br>“What was heartening for me was to see the youngsters – 18 to 24,” he added.<br>Naeem Yousef, 47, from Small Heath, described how he has been using his work van to remove his and neighbours’ rubbish from the area.<br>“I’m a gas fitter. What I have to do is I have to take all my racking out, take all my tools out, unscrew all my shelves and get my wheelie bins in. That of my neighbours, that of my dad’s, when they get a slot at the local centre that allows the vans in,” he explained.<br>“We just came out of Ramadan and Eid, so we’ve generated more rubbish than we would normally do.”<br>Mr Yousef said: “These bags are going to pick up more of a stink. So we have more maggots.<br>“You can see the juice flowing out of the bags onto the road. It stinks.<br>“And then it’s bringing down the areas.<br>“People are saying, ‘Look at these areas, how dirty these people are’.<br>“It’s not our fault because we can’t get bookings in the local tips to dispose of our rubbish. It’s like winning a lottery now to try and get a booking.”<br>He added: “It’s time now that the Government steps in and actually gets this issue resolved for us because we are paying more money for less services and it can’t go on and on and on because this is going to have a dire impact.”<br>In a statement on Monday, Birmingham City Council wrote: “The daily blocking of our depots by pickets has meant that we cannot get our vehicles out to collect waste from residents.<br>“I want to thank residents for their continued patience under difficult circumstances and the community groups who have been working hard within their communities to help with clear-up,” added Councillor John Cotton, leader of Birmingham City Council.<br>This website and associated newspapers adhere to the Independent Press Standards Organisation's     Editors' Code of Practice.

Set For Life results- LIVE Winning National Lottery numbers for tonight for Monday, November 10  Liverpool Echo

A woman "burst into tears" after clinching an "astonishing" £50k jackpot at a Dundee bingo hall.
On Thursday October 30, the lucky player was on her regular trip to the Mecca Bingo in the Douglasfield Eclipse Leisure Park when she won playing the National Bingo Game.
The jackpot is triggered when a player matches and dabs off all ten numbers on their bingo ticket within the first 16 numbers being called. However, the winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, walked away with the fabulous £50,000 after claiming the full house in just 13 numbers.
Mecca Bingo Dundee’s Lesley King said: “It was absolutely astonishing. To match all ten numbers in 16 calls is always a cause for celebration, but to do it in 13 is just amazing.
"To quote Kate Garraway, I was flabbergasted. It’s the biggest win on the lowest number of calls that I’ve ever come across.”
The winner, who had already had a smaller win earlier that afternoon, was so shocked that she "burst into tears".
“She rang her husband to tell him that she’d won but he didn’t believe her until her friend took the phone and said you need to come down to Mecca,” explained Lesley.
The win is the third time that a Mecca Dundee player has scooped a £50,000 National Game jackpot win in the last seven months, making Dundee one of Mecca’s luckiest clubs.
“I’m just delighted for the customer,” continued Lesley. “The magic of big wins is fantastic to see – the sheer joy when they realise it's not a dream, and they really have won £50,000! It’s a brilliant feeling.”
The National Bingo Game is played across the UK and offers players the chance to win Jackpot Prizes of up to £50,000 as well as a club prize on every game. The National Bingo Game is played twice a day, every day, 364 days a year at all Mecca Clubs.
